ConnectWise Reveals Series of Major New Developments at IT Nation Connect
… their data safety.
Dave LeClair is VP of product management, unified monitoring and management, ConnectWise.
“This is a product that’s going to give you unlimited scale and unparalleled performance,” said LeClair. “This solution is a combination of all our combined history, experience and expertise that are brought into the new Asio platform. In addition, we’ve also worked on additional enhancements so that the platform will be evolving to meet the needs of MSPs as you’re evolving as well. And because it’s built on the Azure platform, we’re built on secure modern cloud architecture that provides limited scalability and outstanding performance.”
Cybersecurity and Information Security Investments
ConnectWise also unveiled its plans to expand and connect its cybersecurity offerings, including expanded products, SOC investments and more. Now, all partners who wish to build cybersecurity practices have access to the ConnectWise Partner Program, which equips them to build and go to market with winning cybersecurity practices.
Raffael Marty is senior VP of product management for cybersecurity.
“I talked to a lot of you trying to understand your unique challenges and how we can help solve them,” said Marty. “Together with my two decades in cybersecurity, we’re now setting out to build the industry’s most advanced cybersecurity stack for MSPs. At the core of the stack is intelligence — intelligence from all the different tools that we have deployed to the endpoints, the network, the cloud. It’s intelligence from our software security operations center, where we have 150 security analysts monitoring your environments all day long.”
“It’s real people, processes, and tools focused on keeping you safe,” said Steve Cochran, chief technology officer, ConnectWise. “Security is job No. 1 at ConnectWise. I know there’s nothing more transformative for a business than providing a great experience for customers and being protected.”
Modes Theory
And the IT Nation Connect product developments just kept coming. Modes Theory, also announced Wednesday, is a new methodology to help partners identify and operationalize their businesses in alignment with their unique business objectives. Modes and its associated resources are now available to the entire ConnectWise partner community.
Furthermore, by identifying their “mode,” partners can refine their business approach based on desired outcomes.
“Modes is really about the owner’s growth mindset,” said Arlin Sorensen, VP of brand and ecosystem evangelism with ConnectWise. “It needs to answer three specific questions: What is your destination/what are you trying to build? How will you get there/what does that journey look like? And what is your timeline/how long do you have? You need to know the answers to those three questions. We’ve created an assessment to guide us through that process and begin to really identify where you are on your growth.”
ConnectWise Invent
There was also an update to ConnectWise Invent at IT Nation Connect on Wednesday. Invent is the company’s official program for integration vendors. For partners in the Invent program, it offers development support, readiness, certifications and go-to-market support.
With a nod to partner security, ConnectWise has implemented added measures to ensure that the integrations it certifies are secure. The new program includes a security review of all integrations, in addition to integration certification. For instance, third-party companies conduct static code reviews for every integration certified through the Invent program. That’s in addition to organizational risk assessments on all companies that ConnectWise works with through Invent.
ConnectWise Online Community
Finally, ConnectWise announced that in the new year, it will expand the IT Nation community with a new online community dedicated to helping IT Nation Cohorts and technology service providers engage with peers and product managers about ConnectWise products and services.
